U N FETCH 'DD DEC 12 2014 Timothy Rose Contracting, Inc. 1360 Old Dixie Highway SW, Suite 106 FNN 1 N RIVER COUNTY GiNEERING DIVISION .,, Vero Beach FL 32962 OO (772) 564 7800 Phone (772) 564 7888 Fax Q Timrose7(&comcast.net November 24, 2014 To: Chris Kafer& Staff Re: Explanation of Delay of Oslo Roadway Improvements The issue at hand is the delay of the completion of Oslo Roadway Improvements due to rain. We had nowhere to store the rain run off except in the proposed west bound lanes. For every one day of rain, it would take two days to recover because we only had one discharge pipe crossing Oslo Road to the south and that pipe had a large check dam in front of it. The check dam was wrapped in filter fabric to stop turbid water from entering into Indian River Farms canal. Please see attached documented rain and recovery days of which total 213. We were also delayed by utilities relocation under existing Oslo Road which could not be relocated until traffic could be diverted to newly constructed north lanes because the water main had no working valves from 43`d Ave to Oslo Road. Therefore to deflect water main, we had to install line stops for multiple days (UT-0762) then install new valves. This work for water main valves started 12/04/13 and completed on 02/26/14 (also included UT-762 & UT- Final Meeting) for a total of 85 days. As I aforementioned utilities (FP&L) delays due to conduits not installed per there utility permit issued by IRC, FP&L had to relocate two main services via directional bore. Comcast also had conduit that were not installed with enough cover to construct road, we had 2 days of delays for this. We also had delays due to reconfiguring irrigation and landscape which was 15 days lost. We had to do a directional bore for electrical service to pump address, 4510 9th Ave SW. There were also work change directives #2 dated April 15th, 2013 which was to realign Oslo from 43`d Ave to Legend Lakes entrance, which added 60 days to the contract. Work Change Directive #3 was to add 20OLF of underdrain to allow for more damage, which added 30 more days. Work change directive #4 was to add overbuild existing Oslo Road from Station 97-15 to 99-00, which caused the road to be reconstructed in this area which added 12 days. Work change directive #5 was added to accommodate Indian River Farms change in design, caused 30 days to be added. Work Change directive #6 was also added to accommodate Indian River Farms change in requirements to add ped pipe to the back of the guard rail, which added 8 days to achieve this. Work Change directives # 8 & 9 did not add or decrease any days. Work Change directives #11 & 12 were added for wood blocks and special posts to guard rail system which added 6 days to contract. Work Change directive #13 added joint sealant to bridge joints, this procedure took 21 days due to waiting on special materials. To recap: 200 days rain & recovery 239 days work change directives and added work Total: 439 days Sinc ely % Tim Rose President Timothy Rose Contracting 40
